SHEET-METAL'VES-SEL.

I EPECIFICIATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,779, dated June 3, 1884.

Application filed April 17, 1ss4. (No model.)

To aZl whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDRIOK HABERMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sheet-Metal Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention. relates to coal-hods, chamber-- pails, water-basins, or other sheet-metal vessels, and especially that class thereof in which the bottom and foot are made in one piece.

The novel feature of my invention consists inth means for uniting the base to the body -*of the vessel, as hereinafter described, and

illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

which Figure 1 is a side view of a coal-hod embodying my-invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of 1 the base detached. Fig.3 is a similar section showing the base united to the body.

Similar lettersindicatecorrsponding parts. The letter A designates the b0dy,and O the base, of the vessel, both made of sheet metal. The base 0 comprises thebottom D and foot F-and a double flange, G, which is situated at the junction of the bottom and foot and projects in an upward direction, so that it may beconnected to the body. The body A di-' verges in an upward direction, and the flange G of the base is lapped against the inner surface of the body in the plane thereof, for the purpose of connecting it to the body, and consequently no extraneous fastenings are required for this purpose. The connection of the flange to the body, however, can be effected in other ways-as, for example, by means of rivets, and in that case the body may be straight. The flange, moreover, may be located interior or exterior of the body of the vessel.

superior strength, due to its being double,and

consequently the flange may beriveted without weakening it to any material extent, while by its arrangement above the lower edge of the body it produces a water-tight joint between it and the base, which is very important, inasmuch as the access of water to such joint tends to destroy it.

What-I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A base for sheet-metal vessels, made in one piece with the bottom, the foot, and the doubleupwardly-projectingflange at the junction of the bottom and foot to connect with the body of the vessel, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination,with the body of asheetmetal vessel, of the base made in one piece with the bottom, the foot, and the double upwardly-projecting flange at the junction of the bottom and foot connected to the body, substantially as shown and described.

' 3. The combination,withthebody of asheetmetal vessel diverging upwardly, of the base made in one piece with the bottom, the foot, and the double upwardly-proj ecting flange at the junction of the bottom and foot lapping against the innersurface of the body in the plane thereof for its connection therewith, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
